Overview

A highly motivated, competent work force is vital to an organization's success. Creating Productive Organizations is an interactive manual that challenges and encourages readers to assess and develop a clear vision of their areas of competence and interest in order to enhance productivity.

Basic, common sense information about people, jobs, and the workplace is presented using simple descriptions, methods, contemporary examples and illustrations. Readers are skillfully guided through the process of identifying and defining their skills, abilities, beliefs, values, work methods, knowledge, and strengths. Step-by-step guidelines enable readers to evaluate and more closely match their talents, goals, and visions with current and future demands of the constantly changing workplace.

Written for supervisors, managers, leaders, mentors, work teams members, academicians, students, and anyone striving to learn more about themselves in order to increase job satisfaction and overall performance. Creating Productive Organizations is an excellent stand-alone resource-however, the facilitator's guide is recommended for industry training or classroom use.

Facilitator's Guide

The facilitator's guide is a multilevel, experiential teaching tool that provides activities, inventories, questionnaires, surveys and discussion resources for individual and group use. Its content follows the same format as the manual and is designed to supplement and reinforce material presented in each chapter.

After the downsizing and reorganization of the last decade of American business, many organizations are left with bright, capable employees who are de-motivated by continuous attrition and cost-reducing factors. This book and facilitator's guide addressses these concerns, proposing possible solutions to some of the immediate troubles facing American business today.

A manual for employees who want to produce more for their company or, more likely, a text for a course sponsored or run by the company. Outlines the basic working concepts about people, jobs, and the workplace, partly discussing organizations but focused more on how people think, learn, and perform. Includes exercises to help readers identify their strengths and weaknesses. A facilitator's guide is also available. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
